The pandemic has affected millions of lives worldwide and every day seems to be a reminder of how a few months ago, everything was different. Before, you could walk into your favorite restaurant and place a delicious order of sushi. Now, people are hesitant to walk into a restaurant without disinfecting the food, restaurant owners implemented safety regulations for customers to follow, and delivery app services are incredibly popular now more than ever.
Even when citizens walk inside a grocery store, clothing shop, or even a park – they have to remain six feet apart to respect social distancing. However, there is one striking feature in this pandemic – everyone is wearing a mask.
What is a Mask?
According to the California Department of Public Health, masks are, “A cloth face covering is a material that covers the nose and mouth. It can be secured to the head with ties or straps or simply wrapped around the lower face.” They also state that masks can be made out of anything, as long as an individual is keeping themselves protected from others.
While masks are required for the public’s safety, many retail brands are now seeing this as an opportunity to display their own designs of masks.

Although masks can be fashionable and cute, they often have a more serious impact on your skin than one would think.
How Your Skin Is Affected By Masks:
As masks trap air when you breathe, the skin can easily be congested and more prone to irritation.
According to Suzan Obagi, a professor of Dermatology, she states, “If you have areas on your skin that are raw or chafed, apply an ointment to these areas after you are finished wearing your mask for the day and then reapply this ointment at bedtime.” After a long day outside in the heat, it is vital to take care of your skin.
